[eboard-devel] FICS bugs

[Felipe B. <be...@se...>]

DAV took the server down for an update tonight, it had to do with move
notation. Guess what: server bugs. I spotted two on style 12:

- the board flip toggle is always wrong for black (always 0)

- the LAN notation for promotions is missing the promoted piece
  (i.e. P/c7-c8 instead of P/c7-c8=N), which screwed my computer
  account completely (MechLoser)

I've already messaged DAV about it, but, meanwhile, games you play as
black won't appear flipped and you'll need to turn off Legality Checking
in the Settings menu to play black. (eboard uses the board flip toggle
to 'detect' whether you're white or black in the game -- with the bug
it'll think you're playing white instead of black and say your moves are
illegal with Legality Checking On)

I'm working on 0.3.0 and I hope to have it still this weekend.
Testing bughouse is a pain: 1 eboard and 3 xboards running with unreg
accounts...)
